Guitar Hero

Guitar Hero is a music video game developed by Harmoniz Music System and published by RedOctance for the Play Station 2 video game console. It is the first entry in the Guitar Hero series. Guitar Hero was released on November 8, 2005 in North America.

The game features a Guitar-shaped peripheral that the player uses to simulate the playing of rock music. The game play is very similar to the Guitar freaks, in that the player uses the guitar controller to hit scrolling musical notes. The game features covers of 30 popular rock songs spanning fives decades of rock, from the 1960s to current music.

Guitar Hero became a surprise hit, earning critical acclaim and winning many awards from major video game publications. The game's success launched the billion-dollar Guitar Hero

franchise, spawning the sequels Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s, and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
